Was thinking of using this for tips and ferrules. Can get one at a decent price through a friend. I looked online and the spindle bore is 16mm which should be fine for putting a shaft through. What I am wondering is the back end (joint end) hanging out the other side of the head stock. Would you need an additional bed mounted on this side with a steady rest? Is there a way to use a collet on this side going into the spindle? I’ve seen guys using these smaller mini lathes at tourneys, but didn’t pay much attention to the setup. I’ve heard the Emcos are great and this sounds like a great lathe for tips and ferrules only.
Not interested in one of the cue specific lathes being offered out there so don’t bother recommending one. This is a good price, I could work on tips, and probably some stuff for my other hobbies.
Anyone using one? How are you configured for tip/ferrule work?
